THE  STATE  COLLEGE  AS  A  PUBLIC  SERVANT. 


The  South  Dakota  State  College  is  the  college  of  the  State.  The 
name  is  no  misnomer.  It  is  what  it  claims  to  be.  It  belongs  to  no 
party  or  no  section.  It  is  the  college  of  all  the  people  and  of  all  the 
parts  of  South  Dakota. 

The  legislature  has  given  it  a  duty  to  perform.  It  has  a  certain 
mission  to  fill.  To  do  what  the  people  want — the  State  and  the  Na¬ 
tion  have  provided  a  faculty  of  about  one  hundred  splendid  men  and 
women,  all  enthusiastic  in  their  work  and  all  anxious  to  do  their  part 
in  helping  accomplish  the  purpose  of  the  State  College. 

The  College  has  three  distinct  lines  of  work: 

1.  Original  research  and  special  investigations. 

2.  Scholastic  teaching  and  general  instruction. 

3.  Agricultural  extension  and  farm  and  stock  demonstrations. 

The  first  of  these  important  lines,  research  and.  investigation,  is 
largely  done  at  the  college  in  our  laboratories,  horticultural  rooms, 
green  houses,  orchards,  experimental  plots,  dairy,  breeding  pens  and 
stock  barns.  The  work  with  soil  and  crops  on  the  college  farm  is 
supplemented  by  scientific  farming  at  the  sub-stations  at  Highmore, 
Eureka,  Cottonwood  and  Vivian. 

All  the  collegiate,  agricultural  and  special  courses  are  given  at 
the  college. 

The  other  important  feature  of  the  college  is  the  general  exten¬ 
sion  work.  This  is  a  variable  field  including  explanations,  illustra¬ 
tions,  and  demonstration  for  both  the  farm  and  home.  Some  of  the 
special  features  of  this  department  are  meetings  for  farmers,  home 
economic  demonstration  courses,  dairy  testing,  stock  examination, 
boys’  and  girls’  clubs,  women’s  clubs,  soil  examinations  and  analy¬ 
ses,  seed  collecting  and  testing,  hog  cholera  treatment  and  general 
help  for  community  centers. 

The  college  is  sparing  neither  time  nor  effort  to  help  the  people, 
especially  in  rural  communities  to  make  their  farms  more  productive 
and  their  homes  more  attractive.  The  institution  will  gladly  go  to 
any  community  and  help  to  give  more  efficiency  to  the  farm  and  the 
home.
